Resumen
he ‘Girone’ of the fortress of Castrocaro constitutes the oldest and highest part of the fortified structure and is in very serious conditions of decay and static. It is characterized by the presence of the keep, the imposing and daring tower with a pentagonal plan, dating back to before the year 1000, when the borders between the Lombards and Byzantines are found in this locality. Its construction, first as a wooden tower -guardingo-, is to be attributed to the Lombard Gens (7th century) and in the mid-9th century it was probably transformed into masonry with a wall enclosure around the hillock. The “Girone” can also be attributed to the rescue tower attributable to the 1500s and therefore to the restructuring of Antonio da Sangallo “the Elder”. This fortified complex includes, in addition to the keep and the rescue tower, the walled enclosure with its curtains, the tower of the guardhouse (door with antiporta), the tower of the keep (salient) and the upper courtyard with well-cistern. The restoration and consolidation, following cognitive tests on the wall structures, the keep and the upper court will allow the preservation of this fortification and its completion with the total recovery of the fortress and the safe opening to the public.
